Tonight Facebook presented Places, the long-awaited geolocation service . Currently available in the United States (although I was able to test it from the iPad) it allows you to automatically add information about where you are at that moment to your status update. The status is then shown on your wall, on your friends' news feed and on the Places Facebook page . On this page it is also possible to understand who is in a certain place at a given time (useful for example during concerts or events).
It is also possible to "tag" friends who are with us in a Brazil Phone Number certain place. This way our status update will also appear on their walls. By default only friends can see where you are geolocated, but if you want you can choose more restrictive settings in the privacy settings. From a business point of view, companies will be able to associate their page with a specific place, opening the way to various forms of promotion/communication. Even if the service puts the activities of other players at serious risk, tonight the managers of Foursquare and Gowalla appeared on stage. At the moment the relationship with Facebook is only one-way, in the sense that only the check-ins of the two pioneers will feed the Facebook stream.
In reality, Zuckerberg's goal is not to annihilate his adversaries, but to reduce them to the role of partners of his platform. In this sense, the release of the API will allow you to use the geographical information present in Places. I'm curious to see what will happen when the service expands beyond US borders and millions of people start showing their whereabouts. Large-scale geolocalization could pose risks, but also open up unexpected opportunities.
